A simple visual acuity test with refraction and prescription of glasses takes about 20 minutes.
It might take longer if we need to instill cycloplegic drops for a more detailed examination, especially for children and young adults with intense accommodative spasm
An eye checkup includes visual acuity testing, tonometry which is eye pressure measurement and fundoscopy which refers to checking the fundus, the area behind the lens.
Tonometry is a simple painless test for intraocular pressure measurement with special equipment. It is important because increased intraocular pressure gives no symptoms and if left untreated for a long time can lead to severe impairment of vision. Regular intraocular pressure measurements can prevent these irreversible negative consequences for eyesight.
Fundoscopy is an examination of the part of the eye behind the iris and the lens after instillation of special dilating drops in order to dilate the pupil. This way the eye specialist can see clearly the patient’s retina and optic nerve. This test provides information for the small vessels of the retina and of the whole organism, for the optic nerve that is part of the human brain and the retina which is the inner lining of the eye and its role is to help us distinguish images and colors.
